  2. Oh puuuuuuhlease on 30 Years Since Last Man on the Moon · · Score: 2

    Everybody knows it was a Hollywood soundstage! Nobody ever actually went to the moon....

  3. Next Star Trek Movie on Last Try for CONTOUR probe · · Score: 1, Funny

    Star Trek: The Search for Contour ;-)

  4. In other news... on MacScan Detects Spyware · · Score: 5, Funny

    Both CERT and SANS are warning of a new spyware package for MacOS [X] that masquerades as a spyware scanner! ;-)

  5. Cloning on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 3, Funny

    At $25m/movie....aren't we getting close to the stage where it's cheaper to have Colbians kidnap the star, steal their DNA, and for underground Japanese cloning labs to clone said star? ;-)

    Hold on....I just gave away the plot for Mel Gibson's NEXT movie!!!

  6. Re:Seeing as you're already drugging your kid... on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Cocaine makes me quiet and introspective. Does that make it right? I think not.

    You're rationalizing.

  7. Re:Drugs on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 2

    I'm not letting my daughter have any Schedule II drug until she's at least 16. And you can bet your bottom dollar that there'll be adult supervision!

    -psy

  8. Re:Drugs on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 2

    You've hit the nail on the head. I've seen people selling Ritalin at raves.....it's not because all the ravers have ADHD or ADD ;-)

    Ritalin is a Schedule II controlled substance. SCHEDULE II!!!!! Yup, Schedule II...same part of the controlled substance scheduling as COCAINE!

  9. Re:Provigil on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 2

    A "psychostimulant" is still a stimulant. It's like calling a shovel a "hand actuated earth moving device" :-p

    Although modafinil is proving to be quite useful.....especially for M.S. patients.

  10. Seeing as you're already drugging your kid... on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 1, Funny

    ....why not switch up to crystal meth? Surely if the "R" drug works a bit, a stronger stimulant will work more ;-)

    On a serious note....my daughter is having some similar issues, although she's a tiny bit younger. Personally, i think in our information-loaded society, kids are tuning out more and more....

  11. A little known fact on The Heretofore Unpublished Letters of Ernest Glitch · · Score: 3, Funny

    It is in memorium of him that we have the phrase "a glitch in the system". ;-)

  13. In Toronto... on Ghost Stations of the London Underground · · Score: 2

  14. And, one more time.... on Building the Enterprise D Out of LEGOs. · · Score: 2

    The plural is Lego. NOT Legos, Lego's, LEGOS...

  15. Whip round? on NASA Considers Abandoning ISS · · Score: 2

    If NASA want to setup "SaveISS.com" and get a Paypal account, I'm prepared to chip in a few bucks. Who's with me?

    If SaveKaryn.com can generate ~$14k in donations, I'm sure a high profile begging project like this can generate some serious cash ;-)

    -psy

  16. I've heard.... on Salvaging Possessions from Smoke Damage? · · Score: 2

    that this Internet begging stuff can be quite fruitful. One woman raised something like $27,000 just begging it from people.

    I guess getting a story of hardship posted on Slashdot and then begging makes good fiscal sense.

    (Yes, I'm being harsh...but....really.....lots of us have hardship and aren't tacky enough to resort to asking for cash on Slashdot!).

  17. In other news... on The Wireless City · · Score: 4, Funny

    The number of people mugged for their laptops and PDAs in New York's Bryant Park has increased dramatically recently. NY Police are baffled.

  18. Re:uhm on OpenBSD Acquires IP Load Balancing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    True, load balancers do use round-robin and hash algorithms....but these days a load balancer also implies some logic to stop it forwarding requests to a none-active device. i.e. some sort of keep-alive mechanism.

    But, to see this is OpenBSD is nice. I might actually consider writing some hooks myself to make it a bit more usable.

  19. MacOS X on MiniDVs as a Backup Medium? · · Score: 2

    I'd love to be able to do this under MacOS X....any ideas anyone? Or am I stuck porting dvbackup?

  21. Sony and trademarks/branding on Sony Adds New Copyright Method to CDs in 2003 · · Score: 5, Funny

    MemoryGate...
    MagicGate...
    LabelGate...

    If they start doing per-use billing, will they have a brand "BillGate" and will those "BillGates" then cause a huge lawsuit to be launched by our favourite WA resident? ;-)

  22. It's obvious why the spiders did it... on Spider Web Covers Field · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...they were tired of making damn crop circles trying to get our attention!!!!

    DUH! ;-)

  23. So you're saying? on Searching for Life's Blueprints · · Score: 2

    That with a pair of Levi's and my old Commodore 64 Mandelbrot generator, I can create life? *bwhahahahahahahaha* ;-)

  24. Re:WOZ support on Woz to Speak at MacWorld SF · · Score: 5, Interesting

    He's publicly commented before that he likes both OS X and some of the current crop of hardware.

    Personally, I'd rather wait for the speech where he shows the cellphone/PDA that he's working on that Apple will be licensing ;-)
